Kwame Nkrumah thought he could have a military that was trained by the British and African masses who are brainwashed by Christianity, who would side with him over the United States and the British.
How can you achieve Pan-Africanism and your political leaders are led by the irrationality of Christian dogma? How can you believe you can get aid from the chief colonizer and expect them to assist you in their overthrow?
Scientific Socialism failed in Africa because there was no cultural revolution like there was in China. Accommodating our people's mental colonization only has led to neocolonialism.
If we are going to have revolution, we have to remove the enemies from our minds while we remove them from our land. Because if we don't, they'll rule us from their grave with their colonial culture.
If there's anything we really romanticize, is never objectively studying why our revolutions fail. Instead, we turn our organizations into cults to protect the mythology of past leaders who are above criticism.
Remember, even Kwame Nkrumah's best books were written after he was overthrown, and he learned from those mistakes and taught us from those mistakes.
Revolution isn't just destroying one culture its replacing and evolving revolutionary culture as well. Africanizing colonial ideas only gives us more Obamas and less freedom.
